The system didn’t reply anymore, however. After telling about the effects of the power of belief, it seemed to have entered hibernation once more.

Without the system’s dull voice speaking in his brain, Li Yunmu returned to reality and began to look at the map of Lanlou in his mind. Among the vast expense of jungles, there were seven major cities divided on the basis of seven ancient gods– Shiva City, Vishnu City, Indra City, Ganesh City, Karura City, Asura City, and Yaksha City.

The seven major cities represented the seven ancient gods, and under them, there were countless towns and villages. The number of mortals in Lanlou was much higher compared to other four regions.

“Let’s go, we will proceed toward a nearby village. Let’s take a look at how exactly the mortals of Lanlou create the power of belief.”

Li Yunmu was still extremely interested in the power of belief. It was not only because Lanlou was the only region which used it, but also because he recalled that he was also worshiped by some mortals.

He had never felt that he received any power of belief though.

“System, are you still hiding something about the power of belief?” he enquired.

[Naturally. This power of belief isn’t anything good so I concealed some things. If you were allowed to use it, your future could be considered as destroyed,] the system muttered.

Li Yunmu nodded and didn’t continue speaking. Since it was something prohibited by the system and other four regions, then naturally it was not anything good.

After snapping back to reality, Li Yunmu saw Brunhilda throw off his hand and rush forward a few steps while looking as far as possible with a frown.

“Little Bu, what are you doing?”

Brunhilda turned around and looked at Li Yunmu while saying doubtfully, “Did you not hear a large number shrieks coming from nearby?”

“I heard.”

Li Yunmu walked forward and stood side by side with Brunhilda while carefully observing every movement and listening to every sound. Among the chirps of birds and insects, there were indeed some mournful sounds mixed in.

At that moment, the system suddenly spoke in his brain. [You don’t need to listen so hard. Those wails are coming from the village you wanted to visit. Weren’t you curious as to why the power of belief is forbidden? Now, you can go and personally take a look at the reason.]

After saying that, the system again turned silent. Its words made Li Yunmu’s heart sink, and he grabbed Brunhilda’s hand before unleashing Heavenly Insect Step and rushing toward the location of the screams.

After two-three steps, the two of them arrived at an open space hidden in the jungle.

There were more than ten wooden houses before them and some high rising bonfires. On the side, a small stream, which could be considered as the life source of the village, flowed.

At that moment, the village was full of corpses. The water of the stream was even dyed red because of the pile of bodies lying near the bonfire. Upon touching the fire, the blood instantly turned into nothing with a crackling sound.

Li Yunmu looked at the corpses wearing crude clothes and assumed that they were the villagers.

Numerous soldiers wearing black armor and holding blades were hunting the surviving people, who were trying to escape. Even frail kids were not left alone.

“Why must you kill us!”

“Why?!”

“We are the citizens of Ganesh City, why must you kill us!”

“Ah ah ah ah, my child, my child! Where are you!”

One after another, the villagers fled in all directions, entering the jungle. Behind them, several black-armored soldiers were rushing forward with ice-cold eyes that held no emotions.

Next to the bonfire, a black-armored soldier was sitting on a corpse while looking at the escaping villagers with ice-cold eyes revealed through the helmet. Upon hearing the shouts, his lips curled up to form a hint of a sneer.

“You are citizens of Ganesh City? You rebels who surprisingly dare to resist are no longer citizens of Ganesh City and won’t receive the protection of ancient god Ganesh. Kill them all for me. Don’t leave anyone alive.”

Li Yunmu looked at the people escaping in all directions, and his complexion turned slightly cold. Although those people were completely unrelated to him, his heart frosted over when he saw the soldiers of Ganesh City mercilessly killing its unarmed citizens.

Experts fighting at close quarters was completely ordinary. The winner would be the king and the loser would be the criminal. If two gods tried to kill each other, Li Yunmu would just watch from the side without doing anything.

But right then, it was impossible for him to not get involved.

Next to the bonfire, Chen Xiu was sitting on the corpse while watching his subordinates massacre the villagers with a cruel smile and mercilessness in his eyes.

Kill, kill, kill them all.

For every villager who died, he got a step closer to finishing his assignment. After he finished killing everyone in the village, he would need to rush off to massacre another one.

As long as he killed a sufficient amount of people, he would have hope to become a god.

When Chen Xiu thought of becoming a god, his smile became even brighter. Suddenly though, his vision turned black, as if someone towered over him.

He raised his head and looked at the man whose height was almost the same as his and who had black hair and black eyes, which were the standard appearance of people of the eastern domain.

Chen Xiu looked at Li Yunmu who had a faint smile on his face and said without much concern, “It is a matter of Ganesh City, so regardless of who you are, people who have no reason to be here should retreat.”

Yet Li Yunmu still kept standing in front of Chen Xiu, which irritated him, and he waved the large blade in his hand in front of himself.

“Someone who doesn’t cherish his life!”

A chill spread from the edge of the blade, and it rushed toward= Li Yunmu while leaving behind an afterimage. The next second though, two delicate fingers appeared on the edge of the blade and stopped it.

The naked blade was stopped barehanded.

Chen Xiu looked at Li Yunmu with a hint of vigilance in his eyes. He exerted his strength in his hand trying to retrieve the large blade, but he discovered that the large blade seemed to be under the control of an unknown power. There was no way for him to pull it back.

“Who exactly are you?” Chen Xiu coldly said.

“This is Lanlou, the territory of ancient god Ganesh. You, a person of eastern domain, are overstepping your boundaries!”

Li Yunmu smiled slightly while looking at Chen Xiu whose only mouth and eyes could be seen from under the helmet. He shook his two, and some of his divine energy passed through the blade’s edge into Chen Xiu’s body.

Within an instant, the black armor and helmet exploded into pieces, revealed the man’s appearance. He had sharp facial features and a firm and straight figure. The only difference between him and ordinary people was that behind his helmet, there was a beautiful face with its eyes closed.

“If I am considered as overstepping my boundaries, then you, a person from Asura City, massacring people of Ganesh City are also overstepping boundaries! What is the difference between the two of us?”

When Li Yunmu finished speaking, he shook the blade with his two fingers, throwing the distracted Chen Xiu into the air. The man followed a curved path and struck an enormous tree near the stream with a loud sound.
